The
Stafford Animal Shelter Mission: The
Stafford Animal Shelter prevents animal distress by caring for
displaced animals, facilitating adoptions and reunions, minimizing pet
overpopulation, and pioneering educational outreach.
The Stafford Animal Shelter
is there for you when your pet is lost, you're
ready to adopt a friend for life, or have animal behavior questions.
All our pets are spayed or neutered in-house prior to adoption. We
are the only nonprofit animal care facility in
Park County and serve the people and pets of the greater Southwestern
Montana community.
Call us at
406-222-2111 and visit us Tuesday
through Saturday from 11 AM
to 5 PM at 3 Business Park Road east of Livingston. (Map)
What we need this week:
Dog collars of all sizes (bring your too small ones in and exchange them for the
size you need!), Small, Medium and Large Latex gloves, hay, plastic two-step stools, bleach, hay, duct tape, and long handle dust-pans with brooms. Please drop off Tues - Sat 11 am to 5 pm. THANKS!
If you see the frightened, small Husky in the photo running in the Livingston area, please phone 406/539-1431. She will only come to those she knows well. Thanks!
Homeward Bound Canceled
Not enough people have signed up for our Homeward Bound class learning to train unsocialized Shelter dogs. It will be postponed until Spring. If you are interested, call 222-1313 or email: shelterbark@imt.net to reserve your place.
Unwell Horses Need Your Help
Six horses have recently been taken in by Michelle Feldstein of Deer Haven Ranch, phone 222-0601. She could use your help with supplies for their significant nutritional and disease-prevention needs: round bale-feeders to borrow for a few months, any hay, grooming brushes and combs,
halters and lead ropes, hoof picks, and horse treats. Thank you for considering helping these horses.
Voted the Best Nonprofit
Stafford Animal Shelter has been voted the Best
Nonprofit in the Livingston Current’s annual Best of Livingston poll. About 250
people voted in the survey and chose us as the best among the many
hard-working area nonprofits. The respect of our peers and neighbors means a
great deal to us and we will continue to work hard serving the pets and people
of our region to exemplify “The Best Nonprofit”.
Meet Our All-natural Weed Eaters
Our latest animal residents are not up for adoption - they're our
weed eliminators. Teenage goats Hercules and Teton consume the invasive
weeds on our
property so we don't have to use toxic herbicides. Clearing the
problematic weeds makes the space usable for dog walking. The goats
also neutralize
the seeds, improve the soil by fertilizing as they graze, and aerating
and
turning the soil with their sharp little hooves. Stop out and meet the
hilarious and hardworking Teton and
Hercules!
At the Stafford Animal Shelter we house the homeless, feed the hungry, and on the side we run a matchmaking service.
